Dreams of Lavender 2

"Dreams of Lavender, 2"
14 x 18 inches
Acrylic on canvas
Sold


This is another commissioned piece. They were ordered as a set. This painting is from the same idea as "Lavender Dreams Again"

Click here to see the smaller version of this painting.
This one is larger and I flipped the composition. I also added more flowers and more detail to the mountain.
I love working on a larger scale.

Enjoy!

Dreams of Lavender

"Dreams of Lavender"
14 x 18 inches
Acrylic on canvas

Sold


This is a larger format of an early painting I did called "Lavender dreams." It is a commissioned piece. I reversed the image and changed the field's angle to show the rows more. I really like the lighting and the depth.
If you see a painting you would like that is already sold, this is a good example of how I can create an original for you that is similar, but is changed in size and rearranged somewhat.
Thanks for looking!

Drought's End, After Fay

"Drought's End"
9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

Tropical Storm Fay is still sending strong winds and rain to us. This is the third day the storm has been hanging around. This is just one of the many fields that have not had standing water in over two years! Now everywhere you go you see flooded fields! We sure did need the rain!
Had some limbs down and the power went out the first day. The winds were their strongest as the storm slowed down near Lake Okeechobee. The last half of the storm was worse than the front of it. Now our lake is up a foot, which is great. about two more feet to go and we will be back to the average depth. But I hope we don't have any more tropical storms or hurricanes.

Along the Path, Wildlife art by Fawn

"Along the Path"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
Ready to frame

I felt like moving on to new ideas. I love the blue series and may do a few more, but for now I want to work on brighter colors and create higher, lighter values in my compositions. So I used lots of white in the sky and contrasted it with the tall pines. I may touch up a couple of spots yet, but I really like the overall effect.
This is a path at the A and D ranch, only I made it wider and added a shadow near the bottom to frame it in. The doe is one that I took pictures of up in Gainesville last year.

Enjoy!

Rainy Day Angel, palette knife painting

"Rainy Day Angel"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
SOLD

#5 in the blue series. I used a composition of split compliments. Blue-green, blue-violet, orange, black and white. Orange is a true compliment to blue, so by using the hues on each side of blue I have split the compliment. I could have done it the other way: with Blue and Yellow-Orange or Red-Orange.
This is a palette knife painting, which gives it that almost abstract look, which I love for angels.
When we are down we can be sure God is still with us. His messengers are all around. We can find comfort even when times are tough.

Thanks for looking!
